1. Reproductive phenology of aquatic macrophytes in the Cerrado-Pantanal ecotone
ABSTRACT Studies of plant phenology have been performed predominantly with terrestrial species and rarely so with aquatic communities. Such plants are fundamental for the aquatic ecosystems, representing a valuable source of resources when they are scarce in terrestrial environments for the fauna. Studies of phenology help to understand the reproduction rhyt

2. Fire cues and germination of invasive and native grasses in the Cerrado
ABSTRACT Fire-related cues may enhance seed recruitment in flammable ecosystems and differences in fire-germination responses of invasive vs. native species can drive the invasion process. We evaluated the effects of heat shock and smoke water solution treatment on seed germination of invasive (Melinis minutiflora, Urochloa decumbens, U. brizantha) and nativ

3. Drivers of floristic variation in biogeographic transitions: insights from the ecotone between the largest biogeographic domains of South America
ABSTRACT Ecological transitions usually represent vulnerable ecosystems and high biodiversity. Investigating their drivers is important from both biogeographic and conservationist perspectives. One of these transitions is situated between the two largest biogeographic domains of South America - the Amazon and the Cerrado. We evaluated variation in tree flori

4. Phoretic mites (Rhinoseius spp.) in Apodiformes from Cerrado and Pantanal Biomes in midwestern Brazil
Resumo Os ácaros nasais são comumente encontrados em beija-flores (Apodiformes). Na maioria dos casos, os ácaros foram relatados como endoparasitas, parasitando o sistema respiratório, particularmente as câmaras nasais anteriores, a laringe, a traqueia, os pulmões e os sacos aéreos e conjuntivais. No entanto, alguns ácaros são transportados apenas p

5. Leaf structural traits of three species of Qualea Mart. (Vochysiaceae) in a cerradão area in the Cerrado-Amazonian Forest transition
Resumo Qualea é um gênero comumente encontrado em diferentes fisionomias do cerrado brasileiro, crescendo em ecossistemas abertos até áreas florestais fechadas, sujeitos à alta irradiância, incêndios, baixa disponibilidade de nutrientes e deficit hídrico sazonal. Comparam-se aqui, atributos estruturais foliares de Qualea grandiflora Mart., Qualea mul

6. Estoque e perda de necromassa da vegetação lenhosa em um gradiente fitofisionômico na transição Amazônia-Cerrado
Resumo A necromassa é um importante componente da decomposição e ciclagem de nutrientes nos ecossistemas naturais. Nosso objetivo foi avaliar o estoque e perda de necromassa da comunidade e das espécies em um gradiente fitofisionômico de cerrado típico, cerradão e floresta estacional semidecidual, na transição Amazônia-Cerrado. Calculamos, para cad

7. The study of biotic interactions in the Brazilian Cerrado as a path to the conservation of biodiversity
Abstract: As a focus for conservation efforts, biodiversity has received increased attention in the last fifty years. Searching for patterns in biodiversity, researchers have suggested studies including: ecological communities, cladistics classifications, hierarchical compositions of different levels of organization, and groups of taxonomically related speci

8. Bird diversity along a gradient of fragmented habitats of the Cerrado
ABSTRACT Understanding the factors that affect biodiversity is of central interest to ecology, and essential to species conservation and ecosystems management. We sampled bird communities in 17 forest fragments in the Cerrado biome, the Central-West region of Brazil. We aimed to know the communities structure pattern and the influence of geographical distanc

9. Soil Organic Matter Quality in Jatropha spp. Plantations in Different Edaphoclimatic Conditions
ABSTRACT The substitution of native vegetation by agricultural ecosystems can change the quantity and quality of soil organic matter (SOM), and the intensity of these changes depends on the soil type, climate, and land use. The objective of this study was to evaluate the quality of organic matter in chronosequences of Jatropha cultivation in contrasting soil

10. Elemental composition of PM10 and PM2.5 for a savanna (Cerrado) region of southern Amazonia
Brazil plays an important role with regard to the emission of aerosols into the atmosphere. Ecosystems such as the Amazonian tropical forest and Brazilian Cerrado are undergoing sweeping changes. These human activities promote an increase in the levels of gases and particles emitted into the atmosphere. To determine how these activities have affected the emi

11. The effect of simulated heat-shock and daily temperature fluctuations on seed germination of four species from fire-prone ecosystems
ABSTRACT Seed germination in many species from fire-prone ecosystems may be triggered by heat shock and/or temperature fluctuation, and how species respond to such fire-related cues is important to understand post-fire regeneration strategies. Thus, we tested how heat shock and daily temperature fluctuations affect the germination of four species from fire-p

12. Factors influencing seed germination in Cerrado grasses
Few studies address the ecology of herbs of Cerrado grasslands, which are ecosystems where the long dry season, high temperatures, insolation, fire and invasive grasses greatly influencing germination and the establishment of plants. We assessed germination of 13 species of Poaceae from Cerrado grasslands under nursery conditions or in germination chambers,
